1

Rinse the beef short ribs to remove bone particles.

2

Blend half an Asian pear, half an apple, half a kiwi, half an onion, and a little water to make the marinade.

3

Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.

4

Add 1.5 cups of soy sauce, 0.5 cup of sugar, 0.5 cup of mirin, 0.25 cup of corn syrup, 3 tablespoons of sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of minced garlic, 0.5 tablespoon of minced ginger, 1 cup of chopped green onion, and 1.5 cups of water to the mixing bowl and mix well.

5

Layer the ribs in a container, pouring sauce over each layer, and marinate for 4 hours at room temperature and 8 hours in the fridge.

6

Pan fry the ribs by placing them in the pan before turning on the heat, adding about a third cup of sauce, and cooking on medium-high heat.

7

Flip the ribs often to prevent burning until most of the sauce has evaporated, then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until seared.

8

Cut the ribs with scissors and serve.
